This is interesting: http://www.geocities...er/usedgtr.html

A Japanese owner buying a R32 GT-R new and discussing durability. He put 120,000kms on the car in 4 years...

People still use Geocities??

Anyhoo, great little write up. Interesting about the synchros going on his gearboxes. He did say his did track/circuit days about twice a month though.

Just a warning to the SAU Community from a private source. There is an R34 GT-R that's appeared online For Sale, with highly altered km's. Car has 145,000kms on it when looking at a Japanese listing:

I was in Sydney on the weekend and hadn't yet read this thread, long story short had a look at couple of private seller cars which I passed on. While in town had some time to kill so got on trusty ol

Another one recently listed - Black R34 GTR Vspec, 28,000KM.

Just my observation from a quick browse through the pics - the drivers seat bolster looks a tad worse for wear and car also has a non vspec cluster in it. Almost as good as the placement of the rear GTR badge.

I'm currently shopping for a white R34 GTR Vspec. Are there any unique identifiers that can be used for confirmation in the private sellers market that they were brought in by 'All Imports'?

Example - Does anybody know who performs their compliance / which company is listed on compliance plates of their vehicles?

Cheers.

Lol, my Dad has always told me to beware of used car dealerships.

Just get Iron Chef to handpick you one going through auction in Japan....thats your best bet if you want an immaculate vehicle etc.

From what I know, the white r34's are a bit less sought after in Japan, with colours like Bayside Blue, MNPIII, Black commanding a premium.

I regularly scan carsales and gumtree and most Skyline GT-R's I see are in rubbish condition with non-genuine km's. The problem is the local market has been flooded with absolute shit (thanks to some dealerships).

Wouldn't matter. Dash/KMs etc would all be altered before hitting the country most likely.

Ash I think he's asking if anyone knows who does the compliance for them, and therefore in theory, what would be printed on the compliance plate, so that it acts as a visual identifier to him and he can avoid the car completely?

Joe at Xtreme motorsports has a great reputation amongst the import scene. There are many from SAU, EvoOz and JDMST that recommend him, why do you say avoid Xtreme?

Thank you Dave for defending us.

Unfortunately we have a hater or two on here who keeps trying repeatedly trying to bad mouth our business.

Funny though as they have to make sure that they get someone to approach everyone who has a sticker of ours on their car and tells them that we are

closing up soon and going broke. Lol.... We are far from it.

We will be around for many more years to come and then more. Mind you they bag everyone for tampering with speedo's as they were the biggest culprates

ever and they even had someone on site full time that did it for them.

We refuse do do anything of that sort and swear and stand by our cars all the way. All our cars have higher kms than everyone else but are guaranteed and will come with auction report and de reg certificates for peace of mind. If its not true and worthy I dont want it here.

We also now have warranty in house so no one has headaches from warranty companies anymore as they are a waste of time and money.

We now have a full true Japanese mechanic on board.

Also we have been doing compliance for over a year now at our other site.

Money has never been a problem and never will be as my wife and I inherited a large undisclosed amount a couple of years ago thanks to our parents.

We are looking at finding new premises in the near future so we can expand even further and bigger but have had no luck yet.

For all you haters I dont really care.

For all the likers you know what I am all about.

Everyone is welcome here at anytime and I have no issues with anyone.

I have had many things said to me from customers who visit other yards and compliance shops and believe me I really dont care as the truth

will always be revealed and told. Its easy just google their names and see the truth.

I am a big fan of Skylines and love my Hakasuka and my V Spec II Nur even though its up for sale.

I actually love and respect this site as it does reveal the truth on dodgy dealers and hopefully people will understand why a Skyline at our place is a bit dearer

than other places and has higher kms.

Just to note - we do have to be very careful about HOW we go about it, given legal issues as we are an Australian site, and hosted here (not hiding overseas like a lot of other forums).

Hence we usually discourage users, given people can't help but sink the boot in at times. Admin here are always supportive of the decent blokes around the place, of which there are many :)

I gotta start importing cars.......

I've bought a number of imported cars the best one was my second HR31 which I got from an importer. when i pulled the dash apart to do a number of wiring mods and noticed the screws holding the odo in had cracked all the plastic from being done up too tight. Never heard of nissan doing that LOL

Wow, what a great thread. This is such a good way for all of us to understand the types of things still going on.

These are the reasons I have spent 2 1/2 times what some R32s are going for here for one from Iron Chef. I can confirm that the genuine low kms cars in japan do exist but you pay a big premium for them and in my opinion are worth it.

I think my problem is I know how much the shitters go for in japan so when I see a crap 34 here I naturally offer f**k all for them

then the owner gets but hurt

now that the ausi dollar is kicking arse this is only going to become worse(overpriced buckets coming in)

      Misfire/stalling issues

      The stock one will outperform any aftermarket standard position exhaust manifold. If you don't believe me, do a back to back test (same turbo, same boost, same timing) and you'll be super surprised.

      Any recommendations on a decent replacement manifold that doesnt break the bank or require additional mods for the stock turbo setup? I figure if I'm going to pull the manifold off anyway to fix the studs might as well replace it.

      So I checked the turbo out today. Very minimum play at all just enough for the oil to take up when it's running. I did find an exhaust leak at the manifold. 1 stud all the way in the front is missing and the one all the way in the back is broken off. Front has visible signs of an exhaust leak. I'll fix that soon but that's not my problem still.  I also found that the nipple coming off the turbo had the hose capped off and a hose ran from the j-pipe by the bov going to the wastegate. I removed that hose and capped that nipple and put the turbo nipple hose back on the wastegate.  There was a ton of oil residue all through the charge side of the intercooler piping going to the throttle bodg. I'm thinking that's from the pcv. Doesn't seem to be coming from the turbo that was all clean on the pipes side.  Haven't had a chance to check fuel pressure yet, haven't had time been having to pull a lot of doubles at work. I did pick up some carb cleaner to clean the iacv but wanted to make sure I had a fresh gasket in case the old one rips when I pull it off.  I'm waiting on a MAF that was supposed to be here today but delayed to Monday. Have a double Monday and Friday and work all of next weekend so going to try to find some time in the middle of the week to try that out. Did about a 10m trip around the block today and towards the end the issues were coming back. Fingers crossed on this MAF but if not just going to throw a fuel pressure gauge in and see where I'm at.  Did notice today that I can definitely hear the injectors pulsing. Very audible clicking coming from them. Assuming that's normal? Should also mean CAS is functioning somewhat properly. After it warmed up when I started it the intermittent misfires came in again. Did start doing that before it was fully warmed up.

      GOT SUM's RB34

      By klutched · Posted

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
